Tons of responsibility, no work life balance, pulling teeth to be compensated - Anonymous employee Holder Construction Employee Review

There is 0 work life balance with this company. 75% of the revenue comes from data centers which is from the get go a get it done as fast as possible type job. The new clients that are bringing in most of the revenue create these mega jobs where communication between the project team is slim to none and you are working ungodly hours. The normal day for the field is 12 hours and I personally was on a 12 on 2 off schedule for a year and a half in order to cover my scope of work. The first promotion is typically given within a year of employment but this is to keep you around and incentivized after they had just spent the last year plus working you to the bone. They preach about continued development and they offer a knowledge center but as to on the job training it depends on who’s above you and if they even want to spend the time developing you at all. The most recent company download it was shown that less than 50% of the company has been here for 5+ years so the turn over rate is insane. The blue chip employees typically work their butts off and get burnt out and quit only to have a few quality guys stick around and then you end up being surrounded by the slackers who hid in the shadows. They had told me when I was recruited that I would be incentivized for when I was to travel with the company. I spent over a year 10 hours away from home working my 12 on 2 off with no incentive what so ever to then have them send me to another project in one of their home office cities for the next year with again no travel incentive on my salary. I now have to plead my case to the company leadership as to why I deserve more money when I am still 10+ hours away from home and they had told me I would be paid if I traveled. Holder is great at being very flashy and impressive but when you get in to the thick of things they really don’t care about you as an employee.
